Leicester have defied the odds this season

Leicester City had a roller-coaster ride in the 2014-15 season of the Barclays Premier League as the Foxes were near the relegation zone for most of the campaign.

Leicester were at the bottom of the league table for a period of four and a half months starting from late November 2014 until mid-April 2015. However, under Nigel Pearson, the Foxes went on to win seven of their last nine league fixtures to finish 14th.

It was, therefore, a big surprise when the club decided to part ways with Nigel Pearson and announced Claudio Ranieri as their new manager.

Leicester did sign a few decent footballers, namely, Christian Fuchs, Robert Huth and Shinji Okazaki in the summer transfer window, but the Foxes weren't really expected to give the other English clubs a run for their money.

In fact, most of the pundits predicted the club to struggle this season along with the likes of Sunderland, Norwich, and Aston Villa but Ranieri and his team have proved everyone wrong as they seem set to win the title.
